Ragtag Pinot Noir Greengate Ranch and Vineyard 2018

Edna Valley, California

Double Gold - 2023 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition

Ragtag Pinot Noir Greengate is a rich and elegant Pinot from a single vineyard in Edna Valley. Ragtag Wine Co is a winery that focuses on handmade, thoughtful, small batch and single-vineyard wines. The immaculate Greengate Ranch and Vineyard sets the bar for a desirable vineyard. Located only five miles from Ragtag’s winery, the 777 clone Pinot Noir is grown on a 4-acre block at the top of a subtle Edna Valley slope with good drainage. Rows facing North to South in fertile Diablo and Cibo clay soils produce grapes rich with flavor.

Ragtag Pinot Noir offers a bouquet of sweet cherries, blueberry preserves, and candied strawberries melding with a touch of cedar. This is medium to full bodied Pinot Noir. Smooth tannins balance well with a faint acidity on the finish.

Enjoy Ragtag Pinot Noir over the next 8-10 years with roast pork, grilled salmon, and mushroom risotto.
